The Mantra Trailer
Maxim-ize North Carolina–based artist Sherri Lynn Wood invites people into her Mantra Trailer—a 1972 bread-box trailer–cum–meditation space she’s been touring cross-country with since December—and asks them to record their own mantras about life, society or whatever resonates with them at the moment. “Even though mantras come from the Eastern spiritual tradition, there’s a sense of mantra in pop culture—the personal mantra,” Wood says. “So for some people, their mantra might be the Lord’s Prayer, and for someone else it might be waffles—their sense of humor might be what’s important to them.” Wood decorates both sides of her trailer with the mantras of her guests, using black, boxy, church-signboardlike letters. “I ask people to speak their mantra and [also] listen to themselves speaking at the same time,” Wood says. “It’s really about people connecting with their own interior voice, with their own messages.” mantratrailer.com.
